An unexpected visitor

A few weeks ago, during the last ten minutes of the Thursday night holiness meeting, a man ran into the church whilst people were praying for each other in pairs. He lent on the back bench and in a breathless voice said, 'Someone help me, please'. I asked the Sergeant Major, G, to speak with him and G took him into another room.

Some of the women stopped praying and became very concerned. The man was obviously running away from someone and we wondered if someone else or a group of people were going to follow him into the hall. I asked C if we should close the doors which are always wide open during every meeting but she said that we should leave them open because we do not know what this man might do.

After the meeting was over, I locked the church and came to the front gate where two of the women were laughing. They told me that the Sergeant Major had taken the frightened man home. I asked them why they were laughing and they said that the man had been running away from his wife!
